Deploy multiple apps on a single VPS with Docker

The cost of virtual private servers (VPS) is low. You can rent a small box for about $5 per month. (Here you'll find some cheap VPS providers) You...

Dokploy is comparable to Vercel and Netlify

Really cool to see this method gaining traction, I’ve been using Træfik on Hostinger VPS to deploy my side projects. Its great fun.

Hi, thank you for this post. I have a problem, and I would like to know, if you have a solution. I have set up a Ubuntu server, where I would like to run Mattermost server and Immich server. If I set them up only one or another, it's working great. But when I set up both of them at the same time, I get connection issues. Even they are both idle, it takes about 30 seconds to connect to one or another, and they are not usable.
I have installed Immich with Docker compose, and Mattermost with Mattermost Omnibus.
Do you have a solution?

Sounds like your server might not be strong enough to handle both. Immich and Mattermost seem to be quite heavy on RAM. From what I found, Immich recommends 6GB, Mattermost recommends min 2GB. Very likely they allocate a big portion of these resources even in idle state.
Solution might be upgrading to a bigger server or running 2 servers.

Yes, the server wasn't strong enough. I have changed to a more powerful server, and now, everything works fine.
Thank You

Right!! 🏠 Why have 15 apps on 15 servers when you can juggle 15 apps on one server? Just need to be prepared, if one app decides to play diva and hog all the CPU and RAM. 🎭
Anyhow - what are the preparations for that case?

A good point to start is to limit resources with Docker.

If nothing else helps, jump on the server and try to shut down the bad actor ;)
